‘Still Life’

March 9 – April 3

STILL LIFE 2026 Application

Still Life was once a way for the middle classes in the Netherlands in the 16 th and 17 th century, to depict their wealth in virtuosic paintings. Artists frequently emphasized life’s fragility, shaped by the reality that infant mortality and recurring plagues cut short even the lives of the most fortunate. Skulls, candles, and hourglasses—alongside flowers and ripe fruits and vegetables served as enduring symbols of mortality.

Later, 19 th and 20 th century artists used still life to develop their style and technical prowess. In Canada, artist Douglas Coupland has used Lego pieces to comment on the artificial nature of art. Mary Pratt painted hyper-realistic scenes of fish on a platter before they were cooked, and luminescent jars of canned fruits, foregrounding the domestic skills of modern women.

Try your hand at this timeless study of the everyday objects that we find around us and make them the glory of your own still life
